Ya i just noticed that too. Did a bill pay to pay off my bike 3 days after statement date, so I have till 10th of next month before the statementj with the bike payment shows up,, then 20 some days to pay it.

Re: boa grace period

20 days is getting a bit too skimpy on the float to be worthwhile. i'm sure they'd be going to 15 and then 10, etc. if the pendulum wasn't pushed in the other direction for them.

Yep, the new law requires at least a 21-day grace period.

Now, if only they were required to accept payments on weekends...

Problem solved!
